Job offer: a new vaccine strategy against SARS-CoV-2

The Angiogenesis Laboratory developed immuno-Boost (iBoost), a technology that allows the production of vaccines against self-antigens in the tumor vasculature. This strategy aims at inducing immune responses against low- or non-immunogenic antigens. SARS-CoV-2 has evolved mechanisms to escape immunity as well. While the spike protein S is majorly immunogenic, antibody responses to the immunodominant epitopes are not protective. Critical epitopes seem to be protected against immunity by conformational and proteolytic events. The Angiogenesis Laboratory secured major funding to design a targeted vaccine against epitopes that are critical for virus entry into cells, for therapeutic and preventive treatment. The approach to target conserved sequences aims to protect against future viruses as well.

Do you have your PhD-degree (soon) and are you interested in the project? Please contact Prof. Arjan Griffioen, [email protected].

Caring Univerisities is an international endeavor funded by the World Health Organization (WHO). The aim is to survey the mental health of college students around the world in order to improve our knowledge about college students’ mental wellbeing.

To draw attention to this program, the Week of Caring is organized in hopes of daring students to care enough to make a difference in any or all of these themes: Sustainability, Diversity, Health, Humanity, and - finally - Our University. What is the change you’d like to see in the world? How can you make it happen? Each day, there will be free activities and give-aways centered around the theme and allow you to try and think of your own answers to these questions.

Visit the website www.caring-universities.com to learn more about this initiative.

Caring Universities offers free evidence-based mental health programs and personal e-coaching to students from VU, Leiden, Utrecht and Maastricht University.
